Terminator 2. Also Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Oh and a glimpse of Silence of the lambs before I got caught by mum that time.
The heart part in Indiana Jones haunted me. as did the idea of a killer robot that you can’t reason with or plead mercy to.
Yeah Temple of Doom and T2 for me as well.
ToD was somehow approved by my parents (I think it was rated PG-13, not R) and we even owned it on VHS but I definitely lost some sleep over the heart scene and also the monkey brains.
T2 was definitely not approved, but I watched it at a friend's house.
Same!! I watched it at a friends house ahaha 😂 Mum was not pleased. Ah well. Now it’s funny.
In fact it was rated PG. The resulting backlash, along with a similar situation with Gremlins, directly resulted in the MPAA creating the PG-13 rating.

Oh wow haha, I didn't know that!
It probably would have been closer to 1990 when I first saw it though so it would've been PG-13 by then. Still, an interesting factoid.
